WHAT THE COMMERCIAL CLUB SHOULD DO The Commercial Club might welt begin a campaign to bring more people to Salem and Marion county. ; There is no reason for standing idly by and allowing the city to be drained of its people by the competition of more active communities. Men are being taken for war pur poses and many people are drawn to the coast owns by the attractive wages paid in the shipyards. Interior towns like Salem are finding it impossible almost to keep their industries open, many houses are becoming vacant and some businesses are forced to close by the difficulty in securing help. ' There is no reason why the city should succumb to these conditions without a fight for life. Seattle, San Francisco. Los Angeles and even slow-going Portland are taking advantage of their war activity to send out adver tisements boosting their respective attractions ana oppor tunities. Their commercial clubs are quick to sieze i.he opportunity to secure more people and more business. Salem needs people to work ai:d to grow fruit and vegetables to keep- its juice factories, its canneries, evap orators and packing plants busy. We can legitimately and honestly send out literature and publish advertise ments calling attention to the opportunities and attrac tions of Salem. That is what the Commercial Club primarily was organized for and that is what it ought to do now. At one time perhaps too many people were brought bere, because at that time there was nothing worth while for them to do. Now conditions have changed and there is a need for many more workers and producers.' We must have them, in fact, or close up shopand if we have the proper spirit as a community we will not do the latter. The Commercial Club should take up the matter of the conservative, honest advertising of Salem and the central Willamette valley. ' INCREASED CAR TARES - LIME BOARD GETS THE MONEY. ; t The Woman Who Changed t ' ' Portland car patrons may have to stand for another raise of one or two cents. Recent demands of the employes of the Portland Railway Light & Power company which operates the Portland street cars, for an increase of wages has been passed up to the War Labor Board, both sides expressing their willingness to abide by its decision. The increase of fares from five to six cents has stirred the Pub land Servce Commission because vt granted the increase. If an additional two cents are added to the six already granted, what will become of the ' commission? That would mean a total increase of GO per cent. The answer probably will be the untrammelled jitney and a decrease in street car revenues. If the state lime board had been as shrewd in its ex penditure of. the $20,000 appropriated for it by the last legislature as it was in getting more funds from the emergency board, it probably could have built the state lime plant without calling for more money. . When the board saw that its $20,000 was all gone and the plant was still uncompleted, it unnounced that it would need $5,000 more to finish the plant and put lime on the market. A little later an estimate was made by members of the board that the board really could get ajong with $3,000 additional. The state emergency board met last Friday. The lime board submitted a request for $10,000, just twice as much as it said it needed. Too much, said the emergency board ; the request should be cut in half! It was cut. And the lime board got $5,000. The emergency board went home lie Service Commission because it granted the increase, interests of the taxpayers. The lime board went home feeling fine, too, because it got all the money it said in the first place that it needed. Very nice all round. And Governor Withycombe made a speech in support of the $10,000 request. , TMH II The assassination of Count Von Mirbach, the German ambassador to Russia, is likely to further complicate the Russian situation. If Germany follows her usual course the will undertake to revenge the death of her represen tative, and in so doing slaughter a lot of innocent persons. The arrogance of the German officials has already driven all such Russians as come in contact with them into op position, that sooner or later will break out. into open resistance. The slaughtering of a lot of Russians just now will give a blast to the blaze that may turn it into a raging conflagration. It is Germany's mcve and it is a pretty safe bet that move will be along the line of ruthlessness and terrorism. jL By JANE PHELPS HELEN IS DELIRIOUS. Count Viscount Ishii, Japanese ambassador to this country at a Boston luncheon given Saturday said among other things that "the yellow peril" so much talked of especially on the Pacific Coast was manufactured in Geiv many, and was but one of the ramifications of German propaganda. It was a deliberate attempt to cause trouble between the United States and Japan, and since it was begun even before the war started, it shows the prepara tion even to the minutest detail that the,' Prussians had made for the war. It was I an attempt in advance to weaken any possible source of danger to the Germans in their attempt at world subjugation. Oregon, or the west side of it at least is having the longest dry season on record. Despite this, reports from the county generally, are that the winter wheat yield will be fair, and much better than was thought possible a short time ago. The spring wheat however is considered a total failure. This is not a spring wheat country and the re sults this year should cause the fanners to turn their at tention entirely to winter wheat, far as he growing of that cereal is concerned. With the coming ot the larm tractor the area to be planted bhould be considerably increased. . And now the commercial telegraphers expect the gov ernment to bribe them to stick to their keys. Like every other branch of union labor engaged in industries affect ing war work they are for the kaiser unless all their most unreasoable demands are met. -The ship yard and munition plant workers are a fair sample of the entire Federation of Labor. They are led by anarchists and I, W. W. as visionary and impractical as the Russian bolsheviki but lacking their honesty of purpose. What is needed what must come soon-is the application of the "work or fight" rule to union labor,, and the sending of the men who refuse to work for a reasonable wage to the trenches at $;0 a month where over a million real Amer ican' young men are now serving without a wrord of com plaint. Next to the kaiser the nation's most dangerous enemy is union labor and its irresponsible and unprinci pled leaders: Fifty dollars gathered from one cherry tree sounds like prosperity, and yet there are many trees that yielded more than that Lane county reports a record crop and this with record prices makes the o'-ierry grower begin to think of trading off his reliable little Ford for a twelve cylinder bus of the latest pattern. LADD & BUSH, Bankers ALL THE THIRD LIBERTY BONDS ARE NOW HERE. THOSE INTERESTED PLEASE CALL AT THE BANK The $12,000,000,000 army appropriation bill has been passed by both houses and is up to the president. This is a pretty liberal donation to the cause ot freedom for the world, considering it is given freely by a nation of "dol lar chasers." Rippling Rhymes by Walt Mason 1 I & UPLIFTING TALK Though thrones may crash and kingdoms tremble, some delegates, when they assem ble, can only talk disease; their gossip flows in endless rivers concerning balky lights and livers, and mumps and housemaids' knees. Last night some neighbors came to cackle; the only subjects they would tackle were symptoms and the like; one talked for hours about lumbago, one dieted on rice and sago, his stomach on a strike. I wished to I "'HLm.j tne Prussian blighters, and put them in the IitmaoK soup; alas, my stern prosaic neighbors had i .I,. mm I,-! n lit ,i mt i utile use xor sworas ana saoers, tney a oniy talk of croup. I wonder how, in times of battle, grown people can get down to prattle about their pains ' and aches; about their wens and warts and felons, or gripes brought on by eating melons, or filling up with cakes. With chargers neighing, captains yelling, the small-bore folk are always dwelling upon their piffling ills; in pres ence of great world disasters, we hear men talk of porous plasters and anti-bilious" pills. Upon the marketplace I loiter, to talk of gore, arid not of goitre, of war, and not of warts; I'm tired of men who're always thinking about the medicine they're drinking, by gallons, pints and quarts. - CAPITAL JOURNAL WANT ADS BRIG YOU RESULTS. CHAPTER CXXrV. I never knew when the doctor came. They told me, afterward, that I became delirious almost immediately after giv ing my consent that he be sent for. Ce leste told me that I raved terribly, cry ing that I wanted ray baby and could n't be happy in having it because I would lose my husband' love. "It was frightful, Madame, to hear you." she said. "It made ub all weep." Toward morning, my baby was prema turely born, born dead. I was very ill for sonie time, too ill to even think. Mother came and either she or George were with me day-and night, as well as the nurses. I recall that I used to wonder, in a detached sort of way, why George, stayed home so much; why he wasn't w'tn someone else. I took moth er's being there for granted, and asked no questions. No ouo ever has told me so, but I know that by my foolish hiding my con dition from my husband, by my con stantly exceeding my strength, by my dancing hour atter hour, that I killed my baby. As 1 grew better I gave expression to this thought to mother;' and she gent ly scolded me for ev.oa thinking of such a thing. 4 A Heart to Heart Talk. I had been sitting up for about a week, and was much stronger, George came in early in the afternoon, bringing me a wonderiul bouquet of orchids. "Do you feel well enough to talk to me talk seriously, for a little while?" he asked, as he kissed me. I thought it was worth all the terriblo pain and illness to have him go tender with me, "Of course I dol I am almost well now! " I returned with a smile. He brought a chair and sat dowa be side mo, taking my hand in his. "Now, Helen, tell me what made you think I did not want children would not love you if we had them! Tell me honestly, dear. Don't hide anything, even your thoughts about it, from me." The tears were very near, but I forced them back. I would not cry before George. In spito of my weaknoss, I had not douo so since the day I had said I would not. I waited so- long, trying to think what to say just what to tell' him that he leaned over and kissed me again, saying tonderly: . , ' "Ono would think me an-orge, dear. Please talk freely tone. When you were delirious, you said many things I did not understand." "You remember wlien we. were at Narraganset, last year, that Mrs. Col lins was also theref" "Yes, I remember that vOTy well. Why, what has that to do with itf" "One day I was sitting in a shelter ed part of the piazza and overheard her talking to another woman. They spoke of you and me, th..u racy talked of children. Mrs. Collins immediately said that men who were particular who wanted their wives to look well, and to appear In society with them didn't want children. Then she acl.dcd that it was because of children that men grow intimata with other women, and their wives were neglected; that babies took up so much of a woman's time ana thought that husbands grew away from thorn, and somo other things which I do not rocall well enough to repeat." An Understanding. "But oh, see. Because you over heard this conversation, you thought that I why'V- "Why shouldn't I think you were just as she said? You had held her up as a model to mo, ev.er since I married you; her and other womon like her. Then, you enjoyed her society" I stumbled on. (He had asked me to talk freely; I would try to. Perhaps I never would get up courage to do so again). ' ' You often left me alone, to spend the evening whore she was, and she seemed to know you so well to know all about you, your likes and dislikes even to the color you liked your neckties to be. I never said anything of that to you; but it hurt me, and lot me know how intimate you must have been with her. I wanted to be like her, not because I admired her, George, but because I thought it was tho only way to please you. Bo, naturally, when I overheard that conversation, I judged she knew your feelings on that subject. When I f ouud I was to have a baby, I hit i' because I wanted to be with you, to go out with you. I was afraid you wouldn't let mo, if you knew that you wouldn't love mo, even a little bit." "You poor child!" George exclaimed as he swept me up out of the invalid chair into his arms. "Yon poor child," he repeated. "Why, dearest, I want ohil dron, long for them. I have been a bit disappointed that tn,sX did not come. You dear girl, to bear such a thiug as that alone. How can I ever repay youf Toll me, dear, was what you said in your delirium true; that you locked yourself away to sew because you feared to have me know!" "Yes, George. Many days, and I made such lovely things." "You poor child!" he said again. (Tomorrow A Better Understanding) AMERICANS HELP (Continued from page one) luiubus, Ohio, and Lieutenant J. W.

Nathan Lieiberman encountered' six Germans guarding a iniaehine gun. He levelled an empty rifle at them. They surrendered, two of them crying liko children and begging for mercy.

"This Tanlae put a atop to a nerv ous breakdown that threatened my daughter 's health and she is now as well and happy as she ever was," said Mrs. J. L. Uuangst, of 3237 Alcott street, Denver, Colo. "For the last twelve years," eha continued, "my daughter has held a fine stenographic position with one of the leading firms of the city and steady application to her work for s long was beginning to tell ou her. Her appetite failed her, and she just haol to forco down everything she ate and was in misery for hours afterward from gas that formed from her sour undigested food.

The removal of hair from the face is a very ancient custom, ia called "depilation," and the means of doing It are called "depilatories." Among people who object to hair on the face, whether men or wo men, depilation is a customary and more or less important business. If the growth ia scanty and the hair follicles not well nourished, as Is the case with Indians and with some of the oriental nations, " It often suffices to pull the hairs out. This is not usually successful when the growth Is abundant, as a new hair promptly takes the place of the one which was removed. Shaving and singeing will gome times check the growth, and some times It will encourage It. Barbers often singe the fine hairs on bald heads as a means of stimu lating the growth. Pitch or resin plasters are some times applied to hairs and pulled off when they have been firmly at tached. This Is a painful and unnecessari ly cruel method, and may succeed only in getting up an Inflammation of the skin and leaving an ugly scar. Pumice stone rubbed against the hairs a long time, Is sometimes used and may destroy some ot them and may also set up an inflamma tion In the skin. Prolonged nsa of peroxide of hy drogen is also recommended, but you must always be sure that the' preparation Is a good one and free from impurities which Irritate the skin. t As a matter of fact, many of the preparations of peroxide of hydro gen are not pure and may do harm. Then tere are depilatories of vegetable and mineral substances, Borne of which will destroy the hair but will also destroy the skin and leave disfiguring scars. If you use them, do so under .tha direction of an expert dermatolo gist. The X-ray has been used, but remember that X-ray burns may ba very serious matters. Experienced dermatologists ara cautious about recommending this powerful agent. Finally, there Is the method of electrolysis (or destroying the hair with the galvanic current and re moving the stump painlessly with fine forceps). If it Is done skillfully, It is very successful and gives very llttla pain, the chief objection being that it is a slow process ; for, only ona hair may be destroyed at a time. If there are hundreds or thou sands of hairs to be removed, muctt patience is necessary, both for pa tient and doctor, but I am sure tha satisfaction of being rid of a great annoyance repays ona for time, trouble and expense. I believe those woman spoke tha truth who have told me they wera willing to undergo any amount of pain, if they could only be com pletely relieved of this annoyance, Questions and "Answers I. X.
